Australian police have confirmed that at least 15 people were killed in a deadly shooting during a Jewish religious ceremony near Bondi Beach in Sydney. The incident occurred on Sunday evening, and the attackers have been identified as a father and son.<\/p>\n
According to police officials, around 1,000 people were attending the ceremony, which was held in a public park near the beach. The gunfire lasted for nearly 10 minutes, causing widespread panic among participants and nearby residents. Victims ranged in age from 10 to 87 years old.<\/p>\n
Police stated that the 50-year-old father, one of the main perpetrators, was killed at the scene, while his 24-year-old son is in critical condition and receiving treatment at a hospital. Security officials emphasized that only these two individuals were involved in the attack, which has been described as a targeted antisemitic assault.<\/p>\n
During the incident, a man named Ahmad Al-Ahmad managed to disarm one of the attackers. Police said his courageous act played a crucial role in preventing further casualties and likely saved many lives.<\/p>\n
